Lyrics
Alice Springs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Freedom is an illusion, generated by your brain
Too delicate for words, to ever explain
And love is the taste you get, on the tip of your tongue
Better to have loved and lost
Than to have lived and never loved anyone
I'd stand in the line of fire for you
I'd bend over backwards for you
I'd do anything that you want me to do
'Cause I dont have nothing if I dont have you, my love
And it hurts cause its true
Pain is what keeps your eyes from closing as the night falls,
And hears you in your sleep and wakes you when it gets light,
And sadness is like a wave, that sweeps you off your feet,
With tears that cut like knives,
They're running like rivers down your cheeks
I'd stand in the line of fire for you
I'd bend over backwards for you
I'd do anything that you want me to do
'Cause I dont have nothing if I dont have you, my love
And it hurts because its true
I'd bend over backwards for you
I'd do anything that you want me to do
'Cause I dont have nothing if I dont have you, my love
And it only hurts 'cause its true
Yeah it only hurts because its true
Yeah it only hurts because its true
Freedom is an illusion, generated by your brain
Too delicate for words, to ever explain
And love is the taste you give, on the tip of your tongue
Better to have loved and lost
Than to have lived and never loved anyone
And it only hurts, it only hurts 'cause its true
